1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,841
hi it's me tim dodd the everyday astronaut rocket lab
2
00:00:02,841 --> 00:00:05,558
of course that's one of my all time favorite
3
00:00:05,601 --> 00:00:06,838
small rocket companies
4
00:00:07,121 --> 00:00:09,361
is working on a lot of really exciting things right now
5
00:00:09,361 --> 00:00:11,980
and I just recently caught up with the ceo and founder
6
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:13,721
peter it's just back in December
7
00:00:13,721 --> 00:00:15,078
when they were opening up their new launch
8
00:00:15,078 --> 00:00:16,278
buchenwald virginia
9
00:00:16,636 --> 00:00:18,618
but they're still working on a lot of really
10
00:00:18,618 --> 00:00:19,658
cool and exciting things
11
00:00:19,658 --> 00:00:20,821
between then and now
12
00:00:21,058 --> 00:00:22,578
and they have a lot of cool things coming
13
00:00:22,578 --> 00:00:23,501
the rest this year
14
00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:26,308
even though the world's kind of currently on pause
15
00:00:26,308 --> 00:00:28,511
so I got a chance to catch up again with paperback
16
00:00:28,668 --> 00:00:30,748
and ask him more about their crazy
17
00:00:30,748 --> 00:00:33,191
plans to catch a rocket with a helicopter
18
00:00:33,308 --> 00:00:35,344
now if you need to know more about this
19
00:00:35,375 --> 00:00:36,984
how it's physically possible
20
00:00:37,175 --> 00:00:39,344
or why it's never been done I've already done a pretty
21
00:00:39,575 --> 00:00:41,015
in depth video that you could watch
22
00:00:41,015 --> 00:00:42,544
before or after this interview
23
00:00:42,615 --> 00:00:44,584
it's really fascinating stuff
24
00:00:44,815 --> 00:00:47,424
okay on to the interview hey peter how's it going
25
00:00:47,735 --> 00:00:49,064
good thanks to him yourself
26
00:00:49,695 --> 00:00:50,584
good to see you
27
00:00:50,735 --> 00:00:52,175
it sounds like you guys are staying
28
00:00:52,175 --> 00:00:53,375
still pretty busy
29
00:00:53,375 --> 00:00:55,089
considering all the things is going on
30
00:00:55,089 --> 00:00:56,649
you've done quite a bit since the last
31
00:00:56,649 --> 00:00:57,730
time we spoke in
32
00:00:58,089 --> 00:01:00,810
was that December or November November wait
33
00:01:00,929 --> 00:01:02,049
I don't remember the simba I think
34
00:01:02,049 --> 00:01:04,010
justin yeah we haven't decided to see him for you
35
00:01:04,049 --> 00:01:05,850
yeah when you opened up lc2
36
00:01:06,729 --> 00:01:07,999
so what all happened since then
37
00:01:07,999 --> 00:01:09,790
it seems like you guys have done
38
00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:11,449
quite a few things behind the scenes you had another
39
00:01:11,449 --> 00:01:12,090
launch
40
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:13,770
yeah give us a little
41
00:01:13,770 --> 00:01:14,290
run down a little
42
00:01:14,290 --> 00:01:16,109
update on what rocket lives been up to
43
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:19,669
yeah so it's been super busy so as you point out
44
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:21,429
we didn't we did another launch
45
00:01:21,970 --> 00:01:24,429
and it was good to get that one away
46
00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:26,389
for that particular customer
47
00:01:27,146 --> 00:01:28,681
big deal customer that one
48
00:01:30,538 --> 00:01:32,441
and and you know
49
00:01:32,738 --> 00:01:33,841
things things don't slow down
50
00:01:34,298 --> 00:01:37,281
so you know obviously we won the
51
00:01:37,890 --> 00:01:39,761
nasa keystone mission to the moon so
52
00:01:40,098 --> 00:01:42,041
that's a very big project for us
53
00:01:43,418 --> 00:01:44,601
with lunar keystone
54
00:01:44,778 --> 00:01:45,241
so
55
00:01:46,332 --> 00:01:48,268
and sorry the lunar photon stage
56
00:01:49,271 --> 00:01:52,028
so mess of project mess of engineering undertaking
57
00:01:52,711 --> 00:01:54,780
super cool program super cool program
58
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:56,026
sorry one's the first
59
00:01:56,026 --> 00:01:58,014
stuff for that actually slated as far as
60
00:01:58,066 --> 00:01:58,906
on the calendar
61
00:01:58,906 --> 00:02:00,534
if favorite 2021
62
00:02:00,786 --> 00:02:02,894
oh man that's gonna be awesome
63
00:02:03,228 --> 00:02:05,540
yeah yeah launched out of lc2
64
00:02:05,839 --> 00:02:06,900
that'll be a big deal
65
00:02:06,919 --> 00:02:09,079
it's gonna be fun and what I'll see even working on
66
00:02:09,079 --> 00:02:09,900
yeah and also
67
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:11,700
fled out on recovery so
68
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:14,700
we've made some big strides on recovery so
69
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:16,180
for recovery there's really
70
00:02:16,839 --> 00:02:18,220
I think we've spoken about this before
71
00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:20,860
there's kind of three main pillars of
72
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:23,465
trickiness and
73
00:02:24,047 --> 00:02:25,072
the first one is
74
00:02:25,287 --> 00:02:25,872
could we
75
00:02:25,927 --> 00:02:27,767
get a stage through the atmosphere in one piece
76
00:02:27,767 --> 00:02:28,152
and
77
00:02:28,407 --> 00:02:30,512
we did that a couple of times in a row which was great
78
00:02:31,447 --> 00:02:32,352
the ['one']millisecond is
79
00:02:32,407 --> 00:02:32,887
can we
80
00:02:32,887 --> 00:02:35,992
reliably catch a stage out of media with helicopter
81
00:02:36,487 --> 00:02:37,632
and the third one is
82
00:02:37,807 --> 00:02:40,232
can we get it under parachutes and slow it down
83
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,500
so we've been beavering away on all three
84
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:45,260
of those areas
85
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,820
and had some success in some of them
86
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,100
yeah yeah and
87
00:02:50,419 --> 00:02:54,220
I mean I happen to catch this little video of you guys
88
00:02:54,499 --> 00:02:55,460
actually working
89
00:02:55,579 --> 00:02:57,499
on the parachute aspect
90
00:02:57,499 --> 00:02:59,500
and recovering it with the helicopter
91
00:02:59,619 --> 00:03:00,980
how many times if you guys worked on that
92
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:02,379
what tell me how that's going
93
00:03:02,379 --> 00:03:04,260
has it been pretty exciting if you had any
94
00:03:04,299 --> 00:03:06,420
mishaps that all have been going pretty smooth
95
00:03:06,810 --> 00:03:09,076
now it's gone very very smooth so
96
00:03:09,743 --> 00:03:12,836
we did a test drop with a
97
00:03:13,703 --> 00:03:14,756
dummy stage one
98
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:18,373
and it was quite the logistical feet actually we had
99
00:03:18,386 --> 00:03:20,853
in the mean we had three helicopters and
100
00:03:21,146 --> 00:03:24,453
two giant boats and also a recovery vessel so
101
00:03:24,546 --> 00:03:26,293
it was quite the flotilla of
102
00:03:26,626 --> 00:03:30,573
aircraft and boats to get this test but we basically
103
00:03:31,106 --> 00:03:33,453
stooged out into the middle of the pacific and
104
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:36,499
and dropped one test
105
00:03:36,499 --> 00:03:38,499
dropped a test article on one helicopter
106
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,019
at around about 6 000 feet and then
107
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,899
the the other helicopter hit a
108
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,939
hook and catching mechanism
109
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:47,877
and
110
00:03:48,706 --> 00:03:50,033
it came in behind and
111
00:03:50,986 --> 00:03:53,233
lined up and picked it out of the
112
00:03:53,786 --> 00:03:55,113
middle of the sky
113
00:03:55,466 --> 00:03:57,313
1st try so that was really
114
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,073
you guys made it look pretty easy I mean honestly
115
00:04:00,146 --> 00:04:01,433
I was kind of shocked
116
00:04:01,746 --> 00:04:04,306
that it just goes and it looks like all you have to do
117
00:04:04,306 --> 00:04:05,260
I don't quite get
118
00:04:05,260 --> 00:04:08,220
the grabbing mechanism that grabs onto the actual
119
00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:10,380
the drug shoot there what
120
00:04:11,260 --> 00:04:12,580
is that like some kind of hook or something
121
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:13,660
or how does it end up it
122
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:15,060
looks like all I get to do is kind of touch it
123
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:16,060
and magically is
124
00:04:16,180 --> 00:04:17,260
grabbing onto the line
125
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:18,220
what's going on there
126
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:20,940
yeah so it's an aerodynamically stable
127
00:04:22,112 --> 00:04:24,533
shape so we can fly through the air at
128
00:04:24,826 --> 00:04:26,093
reasonable speed and
129
00:04:26,946 --> 00:04:29,933
the rope stays nice and controlled and also
130
00:04:30,346 --> 00:04:31,773
that you know the hooking system
131
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,044
you know retains its stability
132
00:04:34,356 --> 00:04:37,764
and it's pretty it is pretty simple and the fact that
133
00:04:38,356 --> 00:04:39,684
you have your long
134
00:04:40,836 --> 00:04:43,124
tag shoot and drop out behind the main shoot
135
00:04:43,236 --> 00:04:44,684
and then with the hook
136
00:04:44,996 --> 00:04:48,164
the idea is to just touch those touch those two lines
137
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,860
and then once the two lines touch
138
00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:51,246
you just sort of slide up
139
00:04:51,473 --> 00:04:51,846
and
140
00:04:52,473 --> 00:04:54,486
it snags in an arena we mechanism
141
00:04:55,113 --> 00:04:56,793
and then that mechanism
142
00:04:56,793 --> 00:04:59,246
calls on the parachute and deflates the parachute
143
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:02,817
and you take the weight and away you go
144
00:05:02,817 --> 00:05:03,842
but I have to say to
145
00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:08,802
the pilot I need a pilot made it look super easy and
146
00:05:09,417 --> 00:05:11,137
we're all sitting on you know
147
00:05:11,137 --> 00:05:12,943
out at sea so it's watching it from a vote
148
00:05:12,943 --> 00:05:14,122
and it's just like gee
149
00:05:14,217 --> 00:05:15,602
that doesn't look too bad at all
150
00:05:15,977 --> 00:05:18,282
and so we need landed and
151
00:05:18,657 --> 00:05:19,202
you know
152
00:05:19,991 --> 00:05:21,129
we've been spoke to him
153
00:05:21,690 --> 00:05:22,410
you know I said why
154
00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:24,370
jesus didn't look too bad at all and he was like
155
00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:26,529
oh no I was working for that
156
00:05:26,570 --> 00:05:29,049
so you know he made it look very easy yeah
157
00:05:29,970 --> 00:05:31,745
he was certainly working for and
158
00:05:31,834 --> 00:05:33,905
definitely anyone skilled in their profession
159
00:05:33,905 --> 00:05:34,754
makes really hard
160
00:05:34,754 --> 00:05:37,034
things look really easy and that
161
00:05:37,034 --> 00:05:38,910
pilot just absolutely knocked it out of the park
162
00:05:38,910 --> 00:05:40,065
because it just looks like it's
163
00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:41,465
not a big deal
164
00:05:41,714 --> 00:05:42,625
so I guess the
165
00:05:43,474 --> 00:05:44,945
one of the things that I was wondering about
166
00:05:45,074 --> 00:05:47,491
you show the booster how you know for now
167
00:05:47,491 --> 00:05:49,328
that just that the mock up dummy
168
00:05:49,491 --> 00:05:50,611
which is kind of landed down
169
00:05:50,611 --> 00:05:52,208
on what would be its engine bells
170
00:05:52,411 --> 00:05:54,248
what is the process going to be like
171
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:55,648
please tell me
172
00:05:55,870 --> 00:05:57,808
please tell me there's gonna be a giant robot
173
00:05:57,971 --> 00:05:59,411
with giant arms and just gonna
174
00:05:59,411 --> 00:06:01,448
grab it out of the sky and lay it down gently
175
00:06:01,771 --> 00:06:03,888
what's your plan to get it safely down
176
00:06:04,491 --> 00:06:05,808
somewhere yeah yeah yeah
177
00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:07,021
well I mean
178
00:06:07,878 --> 00:06:09,821
it depends on how you define a robot
179
00:06:11,198 --> 00:06:11,581
but
180
00:06:12,398 --> 00:06:14,701
no basically it's a jake and
181
00:06:16,598 --> 00:06:18,541
basically a half shelling and
182
00:06:18,918 --> 00:06:21,810
you know the helicopter pilot once it's named it
183
00:06:21,810 --> 00:06:23,101
you have very good control of
184
00:06:23,553 --> 00:06:25,863
actually where it is provided you don't have too many
185
00:06:25,896 --> 00:06:28,183
prevailing with the conditions so you can come in and
186
00:06:28,776 --> 00:06:30,023
just grab it and
187
00:06:30,416 --> 00:06:31,503
make it nice and simple
188
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:35,182
really so it actually is going to be grabbed onto out
189
00:06:35,397 --> 00:06:36,622
of mid air basically
190
00:06:36,957 --> 00:06:39,157
no not at it well I mean you have to
191
00:06:39,157 --> 00:06:42,342
you know there's the marine platform
192
00:06:42,837 --> 00:06:44,742
with a jig and then come along
193
00:06:44,837 --> 00:06:46,022
and there's a lot of tolerance
194
00:06:46,557 --> 00:06:47,342
in the vertical
195
00:06:47,477 --> 00:06:50,102
and translational plane so you come on and just
196
00:06:50,947 --> 00:06:52,228
have you has that
197
00:06:52,228 --> 00:06:54,111
that little process been practiced already
198
00:06:54,348 --> 00:06:55,970
no but that that is that's not one
199
00:06:55,970 --> 00:06:56,710
I'm worried about it all
200
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:57,748
it's no different to just long
201
00:06:57,748 --> 00:06:59,071
lining with the helicopter
202
00:06:59,428 --> 00:07:01,991
you know these a really good pilot
203
00:07:02,428 --> 00:07:05,471
you know can can do incredible things you know
204
00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:09,149
with accuracy and long lines
205
00:07:09,390 --> 00:07:12,429
yeah it's not that's not that that's not a tricky one
206
00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:13,470
no that's awesome
207
00:07:13,470 --> 00:07:15,190
that looks really exciting
208
00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:16,270
it looks like you guys have made
209
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:17,909
a really good progress in that
210
00:07:18,110 --> 00:07:19,469
did anything change
211
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:20,790
after the second
212
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:22,560
time you guys have now made it through reentry
213
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,138
did anything
214
00:07:23,581 --> 00:07:24,578
surprise you or anything
215
00:07:24,581 --> 00:07:27,018
changed after from the first reentry going through
216
00:07:27,461 --> 00:07:29,070
to the second did anything changed is
217
00:07:29,070 --> 00:07:31,009
is there any hardware that you've now added
218
00:07:31,530 --> 00:07:32,210
after the first
219
00:07:32,210 --> 00:07:34,729
two that you're preparing now for your 3rd time
220
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:37,369
just give me a rundown on what kind of at there
221
00:07:37,610 --> 00:07:38,090
sure sure
222
00:07:38,090 --> 00:07:40,770
so flight 17 is where we're targeting or build
223
00:07:40,770 --> 00:07:42,329
17 is we're targeting
224
00:07:42,770 --> 00:07:45,089
the parachute system to fly on
225
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,826
so build seven teens well down the
226
00:07:47,853 --> 00:07:49,226
well down the production line now
227
00:07:50,293 --> 00:07:52,586
and we're qualifying a lot of the systems
228
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,560
so
229
00:07:54,270 --> 00:07:57,250
we look every time you re into something like that you
230
00:07:58,030 --> 00:08:01,810
learn a lot but I guess we didn't learn enough between
231
00:08:02,110 --> 00:08:04,970
the two flights to warrant continually doing it
232
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:07,680
which was a discussion point about the team as you know
233
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,210
should we just continually rely these
234
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:12,250
recovery systems
235
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:13,472
and basically
236
00:08:13,707 --> 00:08:15,627
until we get some parachutes under it and really
237
00:08:15,627 --> 00:08:17,912
get it back and see what we've got
238
00:08:19,027 --> 00:08:21,192
it's not you know it's not pointless but
239
00:08:21,587 --> 00:08:23,032
it's extra data but it's not
240
00:08:24,125 --> 00:08:25,832
not valuable enough to warrant
241
00:08:26,107 --> 00:08:28,592
the era planes with arab systems
242
00:08:28,907 --> 00:08:30,470
you know out in the middle of the pacific
243
00:08:30,470 --> 00:08:32,330
and all the logistics that go along with
244
00:08:32,330 --> 00:08:33,432
tracking a stage down
245
00:08:33,707 --> 00:08:35,272
yeah so in other words
246
00:08:35,347 --> 00:08:35,970
just to reiterate
247
00:08:35,970 --> 00:08:37,258
because it's kind of hard to hear you sometimes
248
00:08:37,258 --> 00:08:40,392
but just to reiterate basically you're thinking now
249
00:08:41,326 --> 00:08:44,142
stop trying to solve the full problem and
250
00:08:44,398 --> 00:08:46,210
you're going to basically still try to recover one
251
00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:47,622
but not expecting it to be
252
00:08:47,998 --> 00:08:49,939
real flight worthy and just kind of see what
253
00:08:49,939 --> 00:08:51,010
we needs to be improved upon
254
00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:51,800
is that what you said
255
00:08:51,899 --> 00:08:54,200
yeah yeah yeah yeah so from
256
00:08:55,059 --> 00:08:58,800
so to the point of the next phase of the program is
257
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:01,760
to splash one down in the ocean in any condition
258
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,519
okay so we're working really
259
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:05,920
really hard on the parachute systems
260
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:07,040
to
261
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:10,320
do that so that's really the next big
262
00:09:10,839 --> 00:09:12,279
mask owners is to get
263
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:14,480
something splashed down in the ocean that we can go on
264
00:09:14,850 --> 00:09:15,413
fish out
265
00:09:16,246 --> 00:09:17,486
and there
266
00:09:17,486 --> 00:09:19,886
wasn't too much more than learned by just continually
267
00:09:19,886 --> 00:09:21,333
reining stages
268
00:09:21,526 --> 00:09:23,620
without any parachute systems right
269
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,000
right that makes sense and so
270
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:26,039
after that you'll kind of
271
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:28,760
look at what needs to be beefed up and the heat shield
272
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:30,280
what needs to be beefed up
273
00:09:30,439 --> 00:09:32,560
and any other things and you'll kind of have a good
274
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,639
starting point to really
275
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,680
a good data point to really be able to move forward
276
00:09:36,239 --> 00:09:37,120
and not waste
277
00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:40,348
r amp d on something that isn't going to work out
278
00:09:40,750 --> 00:09:43,468
exactly I mean we've proven that
279
00:09:43,911 --> 00:09:45,068
we can renter it
280
00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:47,544
there's not a lot more we can prove by just
281
00:09:47,555 --> 00:09:48,864
keeping on reentering them
282
00:09:48,955 --> 00:09:49,824
reentering them
283
00:09:50,675 --> 00:09:51,784
at this point what we need
284
00:09:52,075 --> 00:09:53,104
to do now is
285
00:09:53,315 --> 00:09:54,384
get one back and
286
00:09:54,595 --> 00:09:56,624
look that's the ultimate proof in the pudding right
287
00:09:56,755 --> 00:09:59,184
we'll get it back and if it looks in great shape
288
00:09:59,555 --> 00:10:00,864
that'll be a huge bonus
289
00:10:01,230 --> 00:10:03,190
if it's just hanging together by a string in a three
290
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:04,680
it didn't we just lucky then
291
00:10:04,819 --> 00:10:05,720
you know that's a different
292
00:10:06,179 --> 00:10:07,560
set of problems to solve
293
00:10:07,819 --> 00:10:10,760
but you know obviously the stage is a well instrumented
294
00:10:11,299 --> 00:10:13,440
and we're looking at heat flux and
295
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:15,160
temperatures and things like that
296
00:10:15,499 --> 00:10:18,200
and the stages is making it back in one piece but
297
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,404
you know
298
00:10:19,835 --> 00:10:22,435
the post investigation after recovery is really
299
00:10:22,435 --> 00:10:23,684
we were going to see where we're at
300
00:10:23,995 --> 00:10:24,964
that's awesome
301
00:10:25,355 --> 00:10:27,084
that's got to be really exciting knowing that
302
00:10:27,435 --> 00:10:29,164
you're making progress on something that
303
00:10:29,395 --> 00:10:30,724
so few people have ever
304
00:10:30,795 --> 00:10:32,467
really done and really accomplished
305
00:10:32,467 --> 00:10:34,920
I mean on top of your list of achievements already
306
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,844
it seems like you're
307
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:37,946
it feels like you're plowing through this
308
00:10:38,053 --> 00:10:39,346
pretty quickly and
309
00:10:40,093 --> 00:10:42,386
man it's just crazy to think that your
310
00:10:42,613 --> 00:10:43,826
that clothes already to
311
00:10:43,893 --> 00:10:45,326
really be able to pluck one out of the ocean
312
00:10:45,326 --> 00:10:46,053
and see how it did
313
00:10:46,053 --> 00:10:47,906
I mean that's that's
314
00:10:48,813 --> 00:10:50,626
is that going to be on the next flight then already
315
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:53,819
no flight 17 17
316
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,219
okay yes there's a block up block upgrade for flight 17
317
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,619
you know obviously the parachute systems
318
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,699
you know there's quality of interface there
319
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,219
by structural and and system level
320
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:05,739
so
321
00:11:07,051 --> 00:11:10,479
but yeah the team the teams really kicking out I mean
322
00:11:11,140 --> 00:11:13,759
yeah we're moving through super quickly and
323
00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:15,679
you know
324
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:17,319
it's great to
325
00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:19,540
great to put the work in in the beginning
326
00:11:19,540 --> 00:11:21,999
do lots of testing in analysis and
327
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:25,879
come out the other side with positive results
328
00:11:26,591 --> 00:11:27,469
there's a lot of
329
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:29,269
this kind of
330
00:11:29,510 --> 00:11:31,629
I've been reflecting on this quite a bit recently
331
00:11:32,190 --> 00:11:33,709
in development programs
332
00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:36,229
so there's kind of two schools of thought right
333
00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:37,749
with a lot of these systems
334
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:41,389
is fly really early and take lots of risk and
335
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:43,309
have lots of failures
336
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,073
or it's been a bit more time
337
00:11:45,366 --> 00:11:46,433
do the analysis
338
00:11:47,126 --> 00:11:49,193
really understand what's going on and
339
00:11:49,366 --> 00:11:51,153
use those flights as kind of
340
00:11:51,526 --> 00:11:53,646
final validation points rather than
341
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:55,153
massive learning along the way
342
00:11:55,846 --> 00:11:56,313
so
343
00:11:57,366 --> 00:11:57,953
I think
344
00:11:58,166 --> 00:12:00,713
there's a really capable balance to be made there
345
00:12:00,726 --> 00:12:02,033
between like just
346
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:06,884
just going forward and blowing crap out versus
347
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:07,915
you know
348
00:12:07,915 --> 00:12:11,804
doing you know a good level analysis and understanding
349
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,035
versus going the other way
350
00:12:13,035 --> 00:12:14,835
which is just analyzed to death
351
00:12:14,835 --> 00:12:16,684
and then build one thing at the end
352
00:12:16,795 --> 00:12:18,560
which you know we don't subscribe to either
353
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,284
there's a there's a middle point there
354
00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:23,081
where I think there's an optimum curve
355
00:12:23,358 --> 00:12:25,961
in the kind of if it versus reward
356
00:12:26,798 --> 00:12:29,121
if you're either way of the curve
357
00:12:29,878 --> 00:12:32,561
you can spend a lot of time with broken hardware
358
00:12:32,678 --> 00:12:33,880
if you're this side of the curve
359
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,161
you spend too much time
360
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:39,276
too much time total that you don't get any results
361
00:12:39,303 --> 00:12:40,090
that's really interesting
362
00:12:40,090 --> 00:12:41,516
you're talking about that because that's actually
363
00:12:41,623 --> 00:12:42,183
a topic
364
00:12:42,183 --> 00:12:44,636
I'm kind of comparing the development and iteration of
365
00:12:44,863 --> 00:12:46,436
a rocket like the sls
366
00:12:46,890 --> 00:12:48,681
versus a rocket like starship and they
367
00:12:48,681 --> 00:12:49,898
you couldn't have two
368
00:12:50,401 --> 00:12:51,898
more different approaches
369
00:12:52,561 --> 00:12:54,210
to development than those two rockets
370
00:12:54,210 --> 00:12:55,441
and it sounds like
371
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:57,275
you guys are kind of finding that happy medium
372
00:12:57,275 --> 00:12:57,761
where it's like
373
00:12:57,761 --> 00:12:58,978
you know when it's
374
00:12:59,521 --> 00:13:01,018
because that is an art on its own
375
00:13:01,121 --> 00:13:02,470
that is apparently an art on its own
376
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:04,458
it is learning when to move on
377
00:13:04,601 --> 00:13:05,778
when it's good enough
378
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:07,583
and when it's still
379
00:13:07,616 --> 00:13:09,983
good enough to not be risky but still give you
380
00:13:10,056 --> 00:13:11,303
the next step you know
381
00:13:11,656 --> 00:13:13,128
and watching what you guys are doing
382
00:13:13,128 --> 00:13:15,296
it looks like you're riding that line perfectly
383
00:13:15,296 --> 00:13:16,463
from what I can tell is that
384
00:13:16,496 --> 00:13:18,543
this is good enough to get us to the next step
385
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,220
you know but you're not spending years
386
00:13:22,659 --> 00:13:23,660
on the chalkboard though
387
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:23,859
either
388
00:13:23,859 --> 00:13:25,620
it seems like you're kind of right in the middle there
389
00:13:25,859 --> 00:13:26,739
yeah you're right there
390
00:13:26,739 --> 00:13:27,800
and that is a balance
391
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,180
and I think that's part of the successive rocket lab
392
00:13:30,299 --> 00:13:31,140
is been able
393
00:13:31,459 --> 00:13:32,580
to find that that
394
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:34,820
knee in the curve where
395
00:13:35,659 --> 00:13:38,780
you're optimizing for time and efficiency and resources
396
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,084
yes because that's not free
397
00:13:42,235 --> 00:13:45,164
no no nothing's free nothing is free in this game
398
00:13:45,675 --> 00:13:47,284
everything is very expensive
399
00:13:47,355 --> 00:13:49,315
do you think you'll actually save money
400
00:13:49,315 --> 00:13:50,407
by recovering boosters
401
00:13:50,407 --> 00:13:51,644
or is it literally
402
00:13:52,555 --> 00:13:54,604
a matter of increasing production
403
00:13:55,620 --> 00:13:58,565
cheaper than doubling the size of your factory like
404
00:13:58,565 --> 00:14:00,014
give me that balance is there
405
00:14:00,325 --> 00:14:01,254
do you think like
406
00:14:01,405 --> 00:14:04,094
the economics of flying a helicopter again is not free
407
00:14:04,590 --> 00:14:06,241
the boat all that stuff is not free
408
00:14:07,658 --> 00:14:08,601
do you think that's
409
00:14:08,658 --> 00:14:09,890
give me the balance sheet
410
00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:11,001
approximately of what you feel like
411
00:14:11,001 --> 00:14:12,001
that's gonna be right now
412
00:14:12,098 --> 00:14:15,458
well I mean the key driver here is not economics
413
00:14:15,458 --> 00:14:16,561
it's manufacturing
414
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:18,023
now
415
00:14:19,013 --> 00:14:20,806
if we're able to do this really well
416
00:14:20,973 --> 00:14:23,526
and let's take the utopian state where
417
00:14:23,693 --> 00:14:25,086
we can pluck it out of the sky
418
00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:26,647
put it back on the pad
419
00:14:26,647 --> 00:14:28,487
charge up the batteries and fly again
420
00:14:28,752 --> 00:14:29,552
then clearly is
421
00:14:29,552 --> 00:14:31,967
there's a very strong economic advantage to that
422
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,127
but you know
423
00:14:34,272 --> 00:14:35,832
I'm more realistic that
424
00:14:35,832 --> 00:14:37,080
there's a middle point where we
425
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,167
pluck it out of the sky
426
00:14:38,392 --> 00:14:40,527
there's a chunk of its first up
427
00:14:40,992 --> 00:14:44,847
and we need to refurbish at a reasonable amount
428
00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:45,720
so
429
00:14:46,674 --> 00:14:47,425
at that point
430
00:14:47,714 --> 00:14:49,785
if you come out kind of economically neat
431
00:14:50,474 --> 00:14:52,105
from a production standpoint
432
00:14:53,034 --> 00:14:55,465
you don't have to carry all of that facility
433
00:14:55,594 --> 00:14:56,865
infrastructure and
434
00:14:57,074 --> 00:15:00,065
people to be able to meet the same production rate
435
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,732
I mean it's a little bit of German and me coming out
436
00:15:02,732 --> 00:15:04,547
it's just ultimately efficient
437
00:15:04,772 --> 00:15:07,187
you know it's and scottish too
438
00:15:07,252 --> 00:15:10,027
you know very very thrift thrifty
439
00:15:10,172 --> 00:15:12,187
so but I mean it's it's it's
440
00:15:12,372 --> 00:15:14,227
it's a really nice if you can make it work
441
00:15:14,227 --> 00:15:15,467
it's a really nice point
442
00:15:15,692 --> 00:15:17,187
to be it that you know
443
00:15:17,490 --> 00:15:19,591
ultimately to reuse that hardware yeah
444
00:15:19,709 --> 00:15:22,269
as far as reusing and relying do you feel
445
00:15:22,269 --> 00:15:23,391
I'm curious if
446
00:15:23,989 --> 00:15:25,310
the engines going forward
447
00:15:25,310 --> 00:15:26,829
obviously we've seen spacex do
448
00:15:26,829 --> 00:15:28,511
you know propulsive reentry and stuff like that
449
00:15:28,749 --> 00:15:30,989
the actual nozzles themselves are typically
450
00:15:30,989 --> 00:15:32,471
cooled regeneratively
451
00:15:32,589 --> 00:15:34,991
with cold flowing fuel
452
00:15:35,469 --> 00:15:36,505
how does that happen
453
00:15:36,614 --> 00:15:38,214
because there's no fuel flowing through them
454
00:15:38,214 --> 00:15:40,065
during the reentry process
455
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,367
how do they keep themselves from melting
456
00:15:42,367 --> 00:15:43,934
I guess with that hot plasma
457
00:15:43,934 --> 00:15:45,180
well their ink can elder start with
458
00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:46,294
and it's a blunt body
459
00:15:46,294 --> 00:15:50,105
so you push the shockwave forward of the
460
00:15:50,814 --> 00:15:52,785
it's unlikely that any shockwaves are touching
461
00:15:52,894 --> 00:15:53,865
to an engine bell
462
00:15:54,210 --> 00:15:56,465
so you push the majority of the heat flux forward
463
00:15:56,674 --> 00:15:57,065
but
464
00:15:57,714 --> 00:15:58,665
that is kind of
465
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:01,985
the the art and what we're trying to do here is
466
00:16:02,874 --> 00:16:04,705
you know the analysis team have
467
00:16:04,954 --> 00:16:06,394
a goal of you know
468
00:16:06,394 --> 00:16:09,705
no greater heat flux during reentry then during a seat
469
00:16:10,426 --> 00:16:12,601
which is a pretty fifty goal
470
00:16:12,738 --> 00:16:13,201
but
471
00:16:13,538 --> 00:16:16,601
you know the methodology that we're we're employing
472
00:16:16,938 --> 00:16:18,721
to try and manage those heat loads
473
00:16:19,298 --> 00:16:20,441
and you know this is why
474
00:16:20,538 --> 00:16:22,561
the corridor angle is so critical
475
00:16:23,938 --> 00:16:26,841
that look if we can get to that point then
476
00:16:28,194 --> 00:16:31,827
you know life is very good because you haven't exceeded
477
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:34,467
any kind of thermal boundaries at all
478
00:16:34,712 --> 00:16:36,347
yeah that's I mean
479
00:16:36,552 --> 00:16:37,072
for some reason
480
00:16:37,072 --> 00:16:38,632
I don't think I realized that your nozzles are
481
00:16:38,632 --> 00:16:39,550
actually made out of income now
482
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:41,187
and that's one of the great
483
00:16:41,272 --> 00:16:42,467
best materials
484
00:16:42,472 --> 00:16:44,547
isn't that one of the highest melting materials
485
00:16:44,547 --> 00:16:45,587
basically known to
486
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:48,950
humans at this point it seems like it's right up there
487
00:16:48,950 --> 00:16:50,002
oh niobiums is
488
00:16:50,218 --> 00:16:51,122
niobiums much
489
00:16:51,258 --> 00:16:52,098
is as much better
490
00:16:52,098 --> 00:16:53,790
but you know those refractory melany and lloyd
491
00:16:53,790 --> 00:16:55,402
but yeah in canala's
492
00:16:55,898 --> 00:16:56,882
cinderellas is
493
00:16:57,390 --> 00:16:58,048
you know store
494
00:16:58,491 --> 00:17:00,128
high mounting temperature well
495
00:17:00,211 --> 00:17:01,770
more so stronger at
496
00:17:01,770 --> 00:17:03,931
elevated temperatures than high melting temperatures
497
00:17:03,931 --> 00:17:05,470
yeah yeah so tell me
498
00:17:05,470 --> 00:17:07,808
give me a real quick rundown then on where we're at
499
00:17:08,051 --> 00:17:09,998
with photon and
500
00:17:10,659 --> 00:17:12,049
sounds like you guys acquired a new
501
00:17:12,049 --> 00:17:13,148
company that's going to help
502
00:17:13,409 --> 00:17:14,228
is that going to help
503
00:17:14,929 --> 00:17:16,588
produce photons at a
504
00:17:16,969 --> 00:17:18,249
better rate and things like that
505
00:17:18,249 --> 00:17:19,529
and just give me a little rundown on that
506
00:17:19,529 --> 00:17:21,068
because photon seems to be something that
507
00:17:21,209 --> 00:17:23,074
I know you and the industry are as excited
508
00:17:23,074 --> 00:17:23,828
I think for us
509
00:17:24,316 --> 00:17:25,416
spaceflight fans
510
00:17:25,803 --> 00:17:26,403
that's one of those things
511
00:17:26,403 --> 00:17:27,730
we don't get to see the direct benefit
512
00:17:27,730 --> 00:17:29,296
we don't get to see the flame end of it
513
00:17:29,643 --> 00:17:31,456
getting all exciting so tell me
514
00:17:31,643 --> 00:17:33,456
tell me why that is exciting and what
515
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:35,055
and where it's at right now
516
00:17:35,184 --> 00:17:37,495
yeah yeah so I mean look
517
00:17:37,784 --> 00:17:40,144
you know the mission of rockett lab is we're trying to
518
00:17:40,144 --> 00:17:41,455
you know makes
519
00:17:41,647 --> 00:17:43,230
open up space to improve life on earth
520
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:44,421
that's the whole point
521
00:17:44,438 --> 00:17:44,821
and
522
00:17:45,838 --> 00:17:47,878
you know I guess one of the one of the things
523
00:17:47,878 --> 00:17:49,821
that little ways frustrated me is that
524
00:17:49,878 --> 00:17:51,101
I have a launch vehicle
525
00:17:51,638 --> 00:17:52,941
and you take the kick stage
526
00:17:53,518 --> 00:17:56,861
it has gps combs imus
527
00:17:57,780 --> 00:17:59,245
reaction control systems
528
00:17:59,314 --> 00:18:00,925
it is a satellite in its own right
529
00:18:01,394 --> 00:18:03,045
and it would always frustrate me that
530
00:18:03,394 --> 00:18:05,285
literally six inches away from
531
00:18:05,394 --> 00:18:07,565
my satellite is another set of life with
532
00:18:07,714 --> 00:18:10,165
sometimes exactly the same equipment on board
533
00:18:11,434 --> 00:18:13,834
and you know I deliver my customer satellite
534
00:18:13,834 --> 00:18:15,405
and then my satellites and all but
535
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,126
we play with it for a while and then we turn it off
536
00:18:18,713 --> 00:18:20,646
it just seems incredibly wasteful
537
00:18:20,873 --> 00:18:22,446
and in the other part of the element
538
00:18:22,593 --> 00:18:24,246
the other element of this is that
539
00:18:25,140 --> 00:18:26,083
if you distill out
540
00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:28,156
what it takes to build business in space
541
00:18:29,203 --> 00:18:29,676
you know
542
00:18:30,363 --> 00:18:31,996
the launch is one piece and
543
00:18:32,243 --> 00:18:34,196
launch we see is a solve problem there
544
00:18:34,883 --> 00:18:36,636
but the next problem to solve is
545
00:18:37,170 --> 00:18:38,458
how can I make it so
546
00:18:38,561 --> 00:18:40,721
that it doesn't take a team of 20 engineers
547
00:18:40,721 --> 00:18:42,178
to build a spacecraft
548
00:18:42,681 --> 00:18:45,001
a huge amount of resources cost in time
549
00:18:45,001 --> 00:18:46,258
and every spacecraft
550
00:18:46,641 --> 00:18:48,778
is different I mean the coupe set
551
00:18:49,281 --> 00:18:52,378
is a wonderful example of kind of a standardization
552
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,018
but even within a cube set
553
00:18:54,018 --> 00:18:55,741
there's a three u3 you tuna can
554
00:18:55,741 --> 00:18:56,818
through you excel
555
00:18:56,901 --> 00:18:58,298
and so on and so forth
556
00:18:58,781 --> 00:19:00,658
so what we're trying to do here
557
00:19:00,661 --> 00:19:02,818
is provide a best in class
558
00:19:03,221 --> 00:19:04,018
small satellite
559
00:19:04,421 --> 00:19:06,766
bus platform and really
560
00:19:07,133 --> 00:19:08,406
the ethos is that
561
00:19:08,533 --> 00:19:10,453
no company should ever have to worry
562
00:19:10,453 --> 00:19:12,470
about whether or not their reaction wheels are set
563
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:13,326
trading or
564
00:19:13,493 --> 00:19:14,966
any ear those kinds of
565
00:19:15,013 --> 00:19:17,206
you know on orbit everyday stuff
566
00:19:17,947 --> 00:19:18,938
they should just be worrying
567
00:19:18,938 --> 00:19:21,041
about the sensor that generates them revenue
568
00:19:21,418 --> 00:19:21,938
likewise
569
00:19:21,938 --> 00:19:24,418
the government should be worried about the capability
570
00:19:24,418 --> 00:19:24,801
that
571
00:19:25,818 --> 00:19:26,681
they're trying to create
572
00:19:26,818 --> 00:19:28,241
rather than you know
573
00:19:28,258 --> 00:19:29,361
contract is building
574
00:19:29,578 --> 00:19:30,801
the spacecraft and then
575
00:19:30,898 --> 00:19:32,658
the rocket and the spacecraft doing the dance
576
00:19:32,658 --> 00:19:33,810
and the coupled loads and ellis
577
00:19:33,810 --> 00:19:36,201
and all of the junk that goes along with it
578
00:19:36,570 --> 00:19:38,523
how can we seamlessly
579
00:19:39,256 --> 00:19:41,563
make this experience or this
580
00:19:42,376 --> 00:19:44,843
integration you know very very easy
581
00:19:45,216 --> 00:19:45,723
and
582
00:19:46,536 --> 00:19:49,803
that's that that's that you know photon really
583
00:19:49,896 --> 00:19:51,523
is what they're trying to
584
00:19:51,576 --> 00:19:53,203
that's what is trying to address is
585
00:19:53,907 --> 00:19:55,101
just come with this sensor
586
00:19:55,678 --> 00:19:57,158
everything else should be a commodity
587
00:19:57,158 --> 00:19:58,261
the launcher be a commodity
588
00:19:58,261 --> 00:20:00,021
bus should give you a commodity ground option
589
00:20:00,021 --> 00:20:00,490
being commodity
590
00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:00,821
just
591
00:20:01,918 --> 00:20:03,558
come with the sensor or the science
592
00:20:03,558 --> 00:20:04,878
or whatever you're trying to do
593
00:20:04,878 --> 00:20:05,701
or the business
594
00:20:05,918 --> 00:20:06,861
that you're trying to create
595
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,049
and leo and let's just get it up there quickly
596
00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:12,929
that's for some reason I don't think I had ever
597
00:20:13,310 --> 00:20:14,649
like thought of it too much
598
00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:16,065
and it makes so much sense
599
00:20:16,065 --> 00:20:17,249
when you break it down like that
600
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:18,049
people are
601
00:20:18,190 --> 00:20:19,950
spending the same amount of time engineering
602
00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:21,369
something that's literally right there
603
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,400
I mean this totally makes sense when
604
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:28,400
how much cheaper can someone fly if
605
00:20:28,719 --> 00:20:30,840
they don't have to do half of the work you know
606
00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:33,997
that's I don't know why that never hit me
607
00:20:33,997 --> 00:20:36,142
yeah I mean we talked to we talked to
608
00:20:36,597 --> 00:20:38,797
customers and especially government customers
609
00:20:38,797 --> 00:20:43,622
and you know 18 months is an extraordinary short time
610
00:20:43,997 --> 00:20:44,862
to go from
611
00:20:44,877 --> 00:20:47,062
hey we're gonna fly something to having it on all but
612
00:20:47,793 --> 00:20:50,678
that's considered to be you know incredibly quick
613
00:20:51,541 --> 00:20:53,941
you know 18 months for us is an eternity
614
00:20:53,941 --> 00:20:55,030
you know in 18 months
615
00:20:55,030 --> 00:20:57,558
that was half the development timeline of electron
616
00:20:58,181 --> 00:21:00,638
that may as well be half of someone's life
617
00:21:01,221 --> 00:21:02,598
so you know
618
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:04,721
why we sit the goal internally as
619
00:21:04,798 --> 00:21:06,081
it should be three months
620
00:21:06,318 --> 00:21:07,398
turn up with your sensor
621
00:21:07,398 --> 00:21:09,398
and you should be on orbit within three months
622
00:21:09,398 --> 00:21:12,121
so everything is kind of in baseline against there
623
00:21:12,754 --> 00:21:16,257
and then you know as we started to build out photon
624
00:21:17,162 --> 00:21:18,017
we found that
625
00:21:18,922 --> 00:21:19,537
the space
626
00:21:20,050 --> 00:21:23,017
satellite and space supply chain is incredibly fragile
627
00:21:24,042 --> 00:21:26,937
we knew that from electron that's why we build 90
628
00:21:27,202 --> 00:21:29,937
of all the stuff that goes in electron as rocket lab
629
00:21:30,002 --> 00:21:33,706
built so we knew that the supply chain is fragile
630
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:37,346
but I guess I underestimated just health regime the
631
00:21:37,573 --> 00:21:38,826
you know the supply chain
632
00:21:38,973 --> 00:21:41,706
for spacecraft and spacecraft components really was
633
00:21:42,270 --> 00:21:44,053
and it's all good and well
634
00:21:44,206 --> 00:21:44,733
you know
635
00:21:44,806 --> 00:21:46,893
sitting a goal of saying well three months from
636
00:21:47,046 --> 00:21:48,933
you know bringing me your sensor to orbit
637
00:21:49,006 --> 00:21:51,213
but if I've got to wait a year to get
638
00:21:51,566 --> 00:21:53,613
some critical components from suppliers
639
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:55,333
that's not going to work
640
00:21:55,606 --> 00:21:56,013
so
641
00:21:57,270 --> 00:21:58,252
you know we needed
642
00:21:59,247 --> 00:22:00,092
to you know
643
00:22:00,167 --> 00:22:02,852
make them a supply chain much much more robust
644
00:22:03,607 --> 00:22:04,012
so
645
00:22:04,727 --> 00:22:05,892
we had already spoken
646
00:22:06,487 --> 00:22:08,607
dogs and clears products in a spacecraft
647
00:22:08,607 --> 00:22:10,527
because they're beautiful pieces of jewelry
648
00:22:10,527 --> 00:22:13,852
and we just we just you know we love beautiful things
649
00:22:14,537 --> 00:22:16,956
so we'd already we'd already baseline those
650
00:22:17,783 --> 00:22:20,223
but it was a really a wonderful opportunity
651
00:22:20,223 --> 00:22:22,076
because you know doug had a great product
652
00:22:23,423 --> 00:22:25,156
we have a great product that
653
00:22:25,383 --> 00:22:28,116
we have the ability to scale products very easily
654
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,206
when you look at satellite components and compete them
655
00:22:31,473 --> 00:22:33,846
alongside rocket components it's just mmm
656
00:22:33,993 --> 00:22:36,006
this is walking the back right
657
00:22:36,473 --> 00:22:36,846
so
658
00:22:37,553 --> 00:22:40,060
you know we had the ability to scale things like star
659
00:22:40,060 --> 00:22:40,726
trekkers and
660
00:22:41,233 --> 00:22:42,526
reaction wheels and
661
00:22:42,753 --> 00:22:44,366
torque rods and all those kinds of things
662
00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:46,535
and dark haire beautiful products
663
00:22:46,535 --> 00:22:48,400
so it was really that the perfect fit
664
00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:52,480
and we're not just you know doing it for our
665
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:54,560
own photon spacecraft
666
00:22:54,820 --> 00:22:57,080
you know when we talk to other customers
667
00:22:57,620 --> 00:22:59,440
that are trying to build their own spacecraft
668
00:22:59,780 --> 00:23:01,180
everybody acknowledges the supply
669
00:23:01,180 --> 00:23:02,320
chain of super brittle
670
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:04,990
so this is about making sure that
671
00:23:05,369 --> 00:23:06,190
we don't just
672
00:23:06,609 --> 00:23:08,790
provide components to our own platforms
673
00:23:09,780 --> 00:23:11,264
we can provide components
674
00:23:12,235 --> 00:23:13,904
to a bunch of other platforms as well
675
00:23:14,275 --> 00:23:15,344
and if they fly an electron
676
00:23:15,344 --> 00:23:16,610
they're flying electron high grade
677
00:23:16,610 --> 00:23:17,435
if they don't
678
00:23:17,435 --> 00:23:18,744
they don't doesn't matter either
679
00:23:19,195 --> 00:23:19,664
you know
680
00:23:20,758 --> 00:23:22,305
this is all about trying to
681
00:23:23,514 --> 00:23:24,145
trying to really
682
00:23:24,714 --> 00:23:26,034
move the space economy
683
00:23:26,034 --> 00:23:27,345
wow so I mean
684
00:23:27,474 --> 00:23:28,234
for some you know
685
00:23:28,234 --> 00:23:28,970
I think that's again
686
00:23:28,970 --> 00:23:30,354
another one of the things that some of us
687
00:23:30,354 --> 00:23:31,505
don't realize
688
00:23:31,754 --> 00:23:34,025
how hard it is to manufacture things and how
689
00:23:34,474 --> 00:23:36,985
big of a hurdle that can be is actually getting things
690
00:23:37,710 --> 00:23:40,056
produced at a rate at sustainable and
691
00:23:40,643 --> 00:23:42,536
and economically beneficial because
692
00:23:42,683 --> 00:23:45,416
we don't see that on this end of things at all and
693
00:23:45,683 --> 00:23:48,363
that I had no idea you guys were actually working on
694
00:23:48,363 --> 00:23:51,176
you know the option of people buying star trackers
695
00:23:51,243 --> 00:23:53,600
or you know any of that type of stuff any of those
696
00:23:53,759 --> 00:23:54,119
really
697
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,560
weird things that you can't just hop on amazon and buy
698
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:01,240
that's really cool I had no idea that's
699
00:24:01,470 --> 00:24:02,309
that might be one of those
700
00:24:02,310 --> 00:24:04,610
small things in the background that makes a big
701
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:05,349
ripple effect
702
00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:06,749
in the industry
703
00:24:06,790 --> 00:24:09,269
well we hope so we hope so I mean at the end of the day
704
00:24:10,350 --> 00:24:11,949
the more spacecraft that launched
705
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:14,907
you know the bitter the space economy is
706
00:24:14,972 --> 00:24:17,667
and the easier we can make that the bitter as well
707
00:24:17,892 --> 00:24:19,086
it's a circular reference rod
708
00:24:19,086 --> 00:24:20,627
if you make it easier and easier
709
00:24:21,012 --> 00:24:23,587
than it just spins out faster and faster
710
00:24:23,910 --> 00:24:26,479
and you know it's not just dugs components that
711
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:29,559
we sell it's we've built a whole
712
00:24:30,060 --> 00:24:32,799
catalog of our own spacecraft components
713
00:24:32,980 --> 00:24:34,799
so we built you know
714
00:24:35,580 --> 00:24:37,719
severs acs systems
715
00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:40,199
in our pair distribution modules
716
00:24:41,787 --> 00:24:43,736
we have the full suite
717
00:24:44,343 --> 00:24:46,256
of components settle like components
718
00:24:46,503 --> 00:24:47,976
and the purpose of that is that
719
00:24:48,463 --> 00:24:50,503
we can go to the shelf and pick off everything
720
00:24:50,503 --> 00:24:52,616
anything we want in building everything we want
721
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,625
and I guess there's no more
722
00:24:55,334 --> 00:24:56,465
no more kind of
723
00:24:57,140 --> 00:25:00,385
obvious example of that than the capstone mission
724
00:25:00,654 --> 00:25:01,385
to the moon
725
00:25:02,254 --> 00:25:06,305
we take a hyper curry engine off the shelf we take a
726
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:08,817
star trek is off the shelf or action wheels
727
00:25:08,817 --> 00:25:09,625
off the shelf
728
00:25:10,350 --> 00:25:12,510
all the power modules and power systems off the shelf
729
00:25:13,070 --> 00:25:15,670
and put together that in the format of
730
00:25:15,950 --> 00:25:18,510
a mission that can deliver payload to the moon
731
00:25:19,670 --> 00:25:20,350
likewise
732
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:24,390
we can assemble those building blocks if you will
733
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:27,294
into a leo platformer geo platform
734
00:25:28,045 --> 00:25:30,734
you know we can even get 20 yard kilograms to venus
735
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:33,765
venus is my personal favor planet I love being wow
736
00:25:33,765 --> 00:25:36,365
it's a totally totally underrated planet
737
00:25:36,365 --> 00:25:37,454
yeah absolutely
738
00:25:38,756 --> 00:25:39,531
but you know
739
00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:44,771
the photon is a concept it's photon is not
740
00:25:44,948 --> 00:25:46,131
a piece of hardware
741
00:25:46,590 --> 00:25:48,052
you know a photon is
742
00:25:48,647 --> 00:25:50,332
an electron emits a photon
743
00:25:50,647 --> 00:25:52,132
in some you know
744
00:25:53,447 --> 00:25:55,075
in a kind of
745
00:25:56,164 --> 00:25:58,155
a physics standpoint yeah so
746
00:25:58,964 --> 00:26:00,840
it's really it's really a program
747
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,995
not a hardware platform so a photon can be
748
00:26:04,164 --> 00:26:06,595
a very simple comb spacecraft in
749
00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:10,528
and leonard it can be an interplanetary mission as well
750
00:26:10,528 --> 00:26:12,248
with a different collection of hardware
751
00:26:12,248 --> 00:26:12,891
wow
752
00:26:13,488 --> 00:26:17,291
that's I had no idea you could go interplanetary with
753
00:26:17,770 --> 00:26:19,448
photon because you mentioned in
754
00:26:19,448 --> 00:26:20,048
when we were
755
00:26:20,048 --> 00:26:21,089
hanging out at your launchpad
756
00:26:21,089 --> 00:26:23,131
that you could basically keep stacking tanks
757
00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:27,945
on top of photon and increase your delta v abilities
758
00:26:28,134 --> 00:26:29,854
I mean obviously there's at the point where it's
759
00:26:29,854 --> 00:26:31,700
you're kind of maxing out the vehicle below it
760
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:33,167
and you're kind of maxing out the platform
761
00:26:33,167 --> 00:26:33,665
of course
762
00:26:35,988 --> 00:26:37,750
could I mean at this point
763
00:26:37,869 --> 00:26:39,630
if you could you stick landing legs
764
00:26:39,630 --> 00:26:40,709
theoretically on photon
765
00:26:40,709 --> 00:26:41,710
and actually do you have enough
766
00:26:41,710 --> 00:26:43,710
delta veto land a photon on the moon
767
00:26:43,869 --> 00:26:45,910
oh I think that's pushing it
768
00:26:46,349 --> 00:26:48,510
that gets pretty tough that gets pretty tough
769
00:26:49,191 --> 00:26:50,619
but we express
770
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,499
they're working on a lander that
771
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,910
gets kicked out to tie on photon right
772
00:26:54,910 --> 00:26:55,299
and
773
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,259
then it stitches down from there so it's probably a
774
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,920
nice benefit there
775
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:00,920
to stage at that point
776
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,779
and not have to take all that mass
777
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:05,320
the service of them yeah yeah yeah yeah look I mean
778
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:06,400
I've learned very
779
00:27:06,439 --> 00:27:08,720
I've learned to never say anything's impossible
780
00:27:09,199 --> 00:27:10,680
because I just end up eating hats
781
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,159
so I'm not gonna say that it's impossible
782
00:27:12,159 --> 00:27:13,360
but it's it's
783
00:27:13,479 --> 00:27:15,240
that's another level of tricky
784
00:27:16,159 --> 00:27:17,680
you know with respect to
785
00:27:18,374 --> 00:27:20,267
these smaller platforms is the certain things
786
00:27:20,267 --> 00:27:21,067
that don't trade well
787
00:27:21,067 --> 00:27:23,212
but could someone buy a photon from you
788
00:27:23,227 --> 00:27:25,492
stick landing on legs on it and fly it on a little bit
789
00:27:25,492 --> 00:27:26,332
bigger rocket
790
00:27:26,670 --> 00:27:27,678
be an option
791
00:27:27,678 --> 00:27:30,141
yeah absolutely yeah absolutely yeah of course
792
00:27:30,358 --> 00:27:32,101
and you know the
793
00:27:32,798 --> 00:27:35,318
you know the photon lunar stage that we've developed
794
00:27:35,318 --> 00:27:35,998
already you know
795
00:27:35,998 --> 00:27:37,901
we've already been reached out to it the number of
796
00:27:37,918 --> 00:27:38,941
the large year space
797
00:27:38,998 --> 00:27:41,581
you know companies because it's a it's a high energy
798
00:27:41,638 --> 00:27:43,901
super you know super high performance
799
00:27:44,598 --> 00:27:46,221
high delta v stage
800
00:27:46,561 --> 00:27:49,670
so whether it's taking a small payload to the moon
801
00:27:49,670 --> 00:27:51,969
or you put 100 cages on it and
802
00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:53,449
a couple hundred cages on it
803
00:27:53,670 --> 00:27:55,409
and launch it on a bigger vehicle
804
00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:56,649
at the end of the day
805
00:27:56,790 --> 00:27:57,849
it's a spacecraft
806
00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:58,689
and
807
00:27:59,310 --> 00:28:02,049
although it's optimized for electron so you know
808
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:04,449
the photon's flight computer
809
00:28:05,010 --> 00:28:06,395
is the same flight computer
810
00:28:06,584 --> 00:28:08,715
that controls and launches in electron
811
00:28:08,944 --> 00:28:10,810
so we don't have an electron flight computer
812
00:28:10,810 --> 00:28:12,275
and a photon flight computer
813
00:28:12,984 --> 00:28:16,355
you know photon always shears parts of
814
00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:18,435
electron with itself
815
00:28:19,148 --> 00:28:19,671
so
816
00:28:20,459 --> 00:28:23,099
you know when we're in launch mode
817
00:28:23,099 --> 00:28:25,320
the flight computers in launch mode
818
00:28:25,379 --> 00:28:26,974
and it takes control of the range
819
00:28:26,974 --> 00:28:29,040
and it launches the vehicle and guides it all the way
820
00:28:29,459 --> 00:28:31,320
to home and transfer
821
00:28:31,659 --> 00:28:32,760
the moment we kick off
822
00:28:33,010 --> 00:28:35,000
photon the flight computer goes okay
823
00:28:35,099 --> 00:28:36,299
now I'm gonna set a light and
824
00:28:36,299 --> 00:28:37,800
flips into cell light mode
825
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:40,665
and it's just a nice way of reusing
826
00:28:40,734 --> 00:28:41,374
all of the same
827
00:28:41,374 --> 00:28:43,465
hardware that's required on a launch vehicle as
828
00:28:43,974 --> 00:28:45,345
a spacecraft wow
829
00:28:45,814 --> 00:28:46,185
so
830
00:28:47,334 --> 00:28:49,385
you're maybe going to be able to fulfill someday
831
00:28:49,574 --> 00:28:51,785
my dream I've always wanted to have some kind of
832
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,825
satellite of the people
833
00:28:53,010 --> 00:28:55,570
something some everyday satellite or something
834
00:28:55,570 --> 00:28:56,370
I don't know what it is
835
00:28:56,370 --> 00:28:56,826
yeah
836
00:28:57,113 --> 00:28:59,746
maybe if our audience can come up with something cool
837
00:28:59,833 --> 00:29:01,106
well crowdsource
838
00:29:01,473 --> 00:29:03,866
something awesome that people could upload
839
00:29:04,313 --> 00:29:05,466
their images or
840
00:29:06,233 --> 00:29:07,066
something like that
841
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:10,986
on the proton system that just sounds
842
00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:13,441
for some reason this is already my gears turning
843
00:29:13,441 --> 00:29:15,397
I mean you can do anything when you have
844
00:29:15,803 --> 00:29:17,877
the whole thing kind of laid out for you like that
845
00:29:18,123 --> 00:29:21,277
yeah go to go to venus tom you need to go to venus
846
00:29:21,363 --> 00:29:22,517
that's where it's all happening
847
00:29:22,643 --> 00:29:24,517
okay I mean I'll do that
848
00:29:25,883 --> 00:29:26,921
that sounds awesome
849
00:29:26,921 --> 00:29:27,360
is there anything
850
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,957
else you're really looking forward to
851
00:29:29,603 --> 00:29:29,920
I know
852
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,470
obviously think these are kind of probably moving
853
00:29:31,470 --> 00:29:33,709
they're kind of on pause at the moment I'm sure with
854
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:35,230
everything happening right now
855
00:29:35,230 --> 00:29:36,509
I think everyone's kind of
856
00:29:36,630 --> 00:29:38,589
a little bit half twiddling the thumb is hoping
857
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:39,895
we're gonna be okay
858
00:29:39,895 --> 00:29:42,105
but in general down there in New Zealand
859
00:29:42,735 --> 00:29:45,225
what's what's next for you guys
860
00:29:45,335 --> 00:29:47,465
what are you most looking forward to this year
861
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,655
yeah I mean as you say we need to get back to work
862
00:29:51,064 --> 00:29:52,255
I think the whole world
863
00:29:52,744 --> 00:29:54,615
is in kind of a holding pattern right now
864
00:29:55,344 --> 00:29:56,655
but you know
865
00:29:56,744 --> 00:29:58,935
presuming the everything everything gets back to work
866
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:00,975
quickly you know I guess
867
00:30:01,224 --> 00:30:02,775
there's a few key milestones
868
00:30:03,184 --> 00:30:04,751
for us as you know
869
00:30:04,968 --> 00:30:05,951
launch is just a
870
00:30:06,008 --> 00:30:08,591
we're just turning it out cranking the handle and
871
00:30:09,408 --> 00:30:10,968
you know it's a lot of a lot of vehicles
872
00:30:10,968 --> 00:30:12,471
coming down the production line so that
873
00:30:12,528 --> 00:30:13,791
better is just done
874
00:30:15,109 --> 00:30:17,200
the things that I guess is almost excited about
875
00:30:17,379 --> 00:30:19,560
I think things are talking about today is
876
00:30:19,819 --> 00:30:23,040
getting that that next step of recovery is really
877
00:30:23,099 --> 00:30:23,560
important
878
00:30:24,339 --> 00:30:28,120
you know getting that stage subsonic and
879
00:30:29,099 --> 00:30:31,120
to a point where we can splash it down as
880
00:30:31,299 --> 00:30:32,920
is really really important
881
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:33,838
and I think
882
00:30:35,361 --> 00:30:37,260
that is that is the day of sickening
883
00:30:37,260 --> 00:30:39,078
as when we fish that thing out of the ocean
884
00:30:39,401 --> 00:30:40,518
and see what we've got
885
00:30:41,681 --> 00:30:44,318
that is you know that is a point where we will
886
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:46,725
defining moment we will go okay
887
00:30:47,015 --> 00:30:49,965
this this this looks infinitely doable at this point or
888
00:30:50,575 --> 00:30:53,461
man this this is not looking good
889
00:30:53,718 --> 00:30:56,781
so I think that is a key that's a key element
890
00:30:56,958 --> 00:30:58,261
but you know
891
00:30:59,078 --> 00:31:00,021
we've got through
892
00:31:00,438 --> 00:31:02,541
two of the hardest things in my opinion
893
00:31:03,318 --> 00:31:05,301
the reentry is by far the hardest
894
00:31:06,150 --> 00:31:07,842
you know and then capturing it as
895
00:31:09,057 --> 00:31:09,442
something
896
00:31:10,137 --> 00:31:11,722
we needed to prove that you know
897
00:31:11,817 --> 00:31:13,697
we could do and do reliably
898
00:31:13,697 --> 00:31:15,402
so that was a big milestone
899
00:31:16,417 --> 00:31:16,962
and then
900
00:31:18,257 --> 00:31:20,122
it's a year of the satellite for rocket lab
901
00:31:20,857 --> 00:31:22,562
that's what it's all about and
902
00:31:23,130 --> 00:31:24,828
you know everyone thinks of rocket lab
903
00:31:24,828 --> 00:31:25,951
I guess it's in the name
904
00:31:26,188 --> 00:31:27,471
as a rocket company
905
00:31:27,828 --> 00:31:30,431
but you know we're really a space company
906
00:31:30,908 --> 00:31:31,391
and
907
00:31:32,148 --> 00:31:32,751
you know
908
00:31:33,428 --> 00:31:34,711
building satellites
909
00:31:35,108 --> 00:31:36,751
and components
910
00:31:37,470 --> 00:31:38,870
and there's a whole lot of other stuff we do
911
00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:40,542
that probably people aren't wear over as well
912
00:31:40,797 --> 00:31:44,502
we manage spacecraft constellations for governments
913
00:31:44,997 --> 00:31:46,382
we do a whole lot of
914
00:31:47,317 --> 00:31:48,902
other stuff that is
915
00:31:48,997 --> 00:31:53,124
you know it's not not directly associated with launch
916
00:31:53,475 --> 00:31:55,844
and you know that's the point is
917
00:31:56,075 --> 00:31:57,484
is building a company to
918
00:31:57,675 --> 00:31:59,284
not just be a launch company because
919
00:31:59,835 --> 00:32:02,484
launches even loves launch I love launch but
920
00:32:03,330 --> 00:32:05,492
if we really want to deliver on on our mission
921
00:32:05,687 --> 00:32:07,932
we have to extend past launch and
922
00:32:08,327 --> 00:32:10,572
solve some of the other problems that's awesome
923
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:12,852
I have just one favor to ask because
924
00:32:13,487 --> 00:32:14,852
I think it's going to be pretty cool
925
00:32:15,007 --> 00:32:16,852
well you please provide
926
00:32:17,247 --> 00:32:18,127
as best of footage
927
00:32:18,127 --> 00:32:19,090
probably not livestream
928
00:32:19,090 --> 00:32:19,807
because it's really
929
00:32:19,807 --> 00:32:21,332
difficult when you're in the middle of the ocean
930
00:32:21,570 --> 00:32:23,162
all know how difficult live stream is but
931

don't worry I've got a lot more content coming
970
00:33:57,387 --> 00:33:59,492
I know I keep saying I'm going to do a quick video
971
00:33:59,507 --> 00:34:01,412
and then I fall into deep rabbit holes
972
00:34:01,707 --> 00:34:04,012
and the video I'm working on currently is
973
00:34:04,387 --> 00:34:05,760
definitely not an exception to that rule
974
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,452
I'm working on a video at this moment
975
00:34:07,667 --> 00:34:08,692
about whether or not
976
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,523
nasa should look at utilizing
977
00:34:10,523 --> 00:34:12,436
starship for the artemis program
978
00:34:12,483 --> 00:34:14,396
and comparing it to sls
979
00:34:14,643 --> 00:34:16,556
weighing out the pros and cons of each system
980
00:34:17,102 --> 00:34:18,338
and let me tell you
981
00:34:18,341 --> 00:34:20,461
it's a rabbit hole but I'm just about done with it
982
00:34:20,461 --> 00:34:21,938
hopefully it'll be coming out really soon
983
00:34:21,941 --> 00:34:22,901
